Titans to practice in pads starting on Monday

The Titans got their feet wet on Saturday with the first practice of training camp. On Monday they’ll turn it up a notch with the first practice in pads.

Coach Mike Munchak said the plan is to practice in shoulder pads every day until the preseason games begin. The Titans open their preseason on Aug. 11 at Seattle.

“You can only have pads on once a day,” Munchak said. “Once we get to the fourth day, which will be Monday, we can have pads on once a day every day until we get to the regular season. We’re going to have shoulder pads on every time; sometimes we’ll be in shorts and shoulder pads. Sometimes we’ll be in full gear, where we’ll wear the pants and the thigh pads. So, we’ll be doing a mixture of those throughout camp.”
